1 Scope

This document specifies the requirements for the attachment of multi-turn actuators to valves.

Throughout this document, “actuator” can be understood as “actuator” or “combination of actuator with gearbox” providing a multi-turn or linear output.

This document specifies:

• flange dimensions necessary for the attachment of actuators to industrial valves [see Figure 1 a)] or to intermediate supports [see Figure 1 b)];

• those driving component dimensions of actuators which are necessary to attach them to the driven components;

• reference values for torque and thrust for flanges having the dimensions specified in this document.
